Math

Students are offered three years of Regents Mathematics. These courses are designed to prepare students for the New York State Examination in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2.

RHHS is using the Illustrative Mathematics (IM) Curriculum for the Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry Courses. IM is “fully aligned to the focus, rigor, and coherence of the standards”. The scope and sequence of units, activities, and representations are designed to help students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, build fluency with procedures, and solve mathematical problems that reflect their lived experiences. Embedded within the curriculum are Mathematical Language Routines to support academic language development for all learners.
RHHS Math teachers are also building students’ critical thinking skills, reading comprehension skills, and academic vocabulary to prepare them for state exams and for post-secondary success.

College Level

COLLEGE LEVEL MATHEMATICS COURSES
‍
In Precalculus students learn about linear, exponential, trigonometric, quadratic & logarithmic functions, and their application. At the end of the course students obtain College Credit through York College or Farmingdale University. There are 6 units that are covered:

UNIT 1: LINEAR AND QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS
UNIT 2: POLYNOMIAL & RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
UNIT 3: EXPONENTIAL & LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS
UNIT 4: TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
UNIT 5: ANALYTIC TRIGONOMETRY
UNIT 6: APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIO
‍
CALCULUS AB:
‍
Students that are enrolled in Calculus AB will be scheduled to take the AP Calculus AB exam in May and have the opportunity to receive College Credit. Students will be studying the following topics through a variety of means including algebraically, graphically, numerically and collaboratively:

Students will learn about:

LIMITS: Students will learn one-sided limits, limits at infinity, limit of a sequence, infinite limits, estimation of limits using tables and graphs, algebraic properties of limits, techniques for finding limits of indeterminate forms, and behavior of a function and existence of continuity.
DERIVATIVES: Students will learn estimation of derivatives from tables and graphs, finding the slope of a tangent line to a graph at a point, calculate instantaneous rate of change and rectilinear motion, analyzing the graph of a function, solving separable differential equations, understanding the Mean Value Theorem, and solving real-world applications including related rates, optimization and growth and decay models.

INTEGRALS AND THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF CALCULUS : Students will understand the definition of a definite integral and approximating definite integrals with the use of Reimann sums, compute definite integrals using geometry, use basic techniques of integration and properties of integrals, interpret definite integrals with regards to area, volume, motion and accumulation functions, understand the relationship between integration and differentiation as expressed in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and work with and analyze functions defined by an integral.

Electives

MATH ELECTIVES:
Business Math and Mathematical Finance: These courses are intended to extend on the foundation of the Algebra 1 course, and use concepts from Algebra 2 and Geometry to Solve real world problems and use mathematics to describe financial situations. Thus, in addition to learning new mathematics, students will investigate how mathematics is actually used and found in the world around us, and explore potential careers that use the mathematics studied in this course. Students will discover that many careers in finance, banking and the corporate industry require a working knowledge of functions, modeling, and data analysis and that individuals who have this knowledge have an advantage over those who don't when it comes to career opportunities.
